In our Co-op Housing Society in Mumbai one member unauthorisedly converted his residential flat into a garment works. The Society went to court and the member accepted what he was doing was wrong. He also gave an undertaking before the court that he will revert and restore the flat as a residence on
or before 31-05-10. He also complied with the
undertaking on the promised date. But recently he has again started using it as garment works. His action amounts to contempt or defiance of court order.
Is this a cognizable offence? Can action be taken under Cr.P.C.156,190 or 192? If not how can the Society proceed in the matter?
